Windows 10: Can't reset my PC - "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made"

I'm having trouble resetting my PC. I'd like to reset it for performance reasons, and it's also to free up some storage space. When I try to reset I get a notification that says "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made". I then decided to try and do a fresh install. I downloaded the media tool and made a bootable USB. Then problem with that is it does not show up in the boot menu. It's a brand new USB I bought for this purpose. I've read and tried many "fixes" but none have worked. I'm hoping someone could help me out here.

router logs DoS attack from a local PC....

Well you did not say that you don't really know what you are doing. It's not a problem of course, but it changes things a little.

It's not even clear if the PC or the router is the problem at this time, so I suggested that you disable some unnecessary things which are usually known to cause many problems, sorry if those were too complicated.

• You could reset some network related stuffz on the PC as a next step. Open an elevated command prompt (run as administrator), and enter the followings on the PC:
  netsh int ip reset reset.log
  netsh int ipv6 reset
  netsh winsock reset
  netsh branchcache reset
  netsh advfirewall reset
  (note: You can export your current firewall rules in the "group policy" before the reset if it's needed for some reason)
  
  
• Btw, Would it be a problem to reset the router to the default settings if the things we are trying will not help? There is a menu point for that called "factory settings" (and also a little hole on the back if you prefer that one).. the Administrator username in the router after the reset would be admin and the password is probably on a sticker at the bottom of the router (special settings needed to go online with your ISP might be also necessary)
  This is not needed now (not yet), but perhaps the source of the problem is at the router and not the PC in question, so we may come to that eventually.

ps.: Do you have a second network card you could test in that PC and a different cable to rule out some hardware issues on the PC side?
